A joint effort by ATNI EDC and EcoTrust funded by the US Economic Development Administration

Earlier this month, we sent the attached Economic goals and Priorities survey for Tribes to tribal leadership. We were asking for those to be returned by tomorrow, but we have extended that deadline to FRIDAY, JULY 31. Thank you to those who have already completed and returned the survey. For every completed survey received, your tribe will be entered into a drawing for a $500 donation to a tribal program. The survey may be emailed, faxed, or mailed.

Please find the link for both the PDF SURVEY and MS WORD SURVEY version of the survey. Please complete the one that is most convenient for you.

The information that your Tribe provides will be used to create a draft fellowship model that is intended to help tribes meet economic development goals and priorities. For that model to be effective, information from ATNI member tribes is essential.Please consider completing the survey yourself, or designate a knowledgeable staff person to complete it. The 4-page survey may take 30 – 45 minutes to complete. Multiple submissions from your Tribe are welcome!
